that oil feed line to the pump with that loop in it, secure it to something, so it can't shake. that foams up the oil, same for all of them but a loop is worse.
I want to get the car as light as possible. Plan is to run Ultra 275 and X275 in the future (or if the combo gets nailed by rule revisions in Ultra). Ultra weight is 3250 so car must be around 3000.

The vac line is sleeved because the plug wires laid across it, and its stainless braid line.

The oil lines from the pump to the filter and back to the block are stiffer than they look, theyre nylon braid over stainless reinforced hose, they dont move very easily, theyre also pressurized lines not suction hard to foam with 60-90psi of pressure in them

Some updates...

Brought the car home from Rhodes Custom Auto. 25.5 cage is done, rear suspension is done and the cowl is boxed




Made some room for the CFM Custom Dominator carb...





Rear suspension - moved the shocks to the rear and crossmember tied to the cage, Santhuff custom valved shocks, TRZ Wishbone, and Racecraft torquearm. In the next couple weeks the rear will be going to TRZ to get some new lower control arm brackets



Rear tin work and anti roll bar

Headers are complete. Pulled the engine to finish the body work for the engine bay and have it repainted.

I don't know how I missed this thread from back when, and even now.....

Car looks great. Rhodes does nice work for sure.

Will you be at the Street Car Shootout's at Cecil this year? I'll have to swing down and catch ya there.
